Congratulations! You put your signature under a cherished contract with one of the GHL clubs, where the round sum is banging. It's time to take care of buying suitable car. And what is better than a luxurious SUV, which can emphasize your star status. It remains for small - choose suitable option. The most popular car magazine "Motor Trend" decided to help in solving this difficult task, setting up a comparative test Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG and new Range Rover..

Both of the SUV testes were equipped with gasoline engines V8, all-wheel drive transmissions and adaptive suspensions.

Round First

The German giant is distinguished from the British opponent with a more roomy lounge with seven seats. At the same time, Mercedesian interior suffers from a lack of authenticity. Inside AMG modification is easy to confuse with a less expensive version of GL550. The dashboard here is the same as other "charged" SUVs of the company from Stuttgart, and the control unit located on the central console of the Command multimedia system is no different from the similar element of ordinary "Mercedes". But the front chairs would not hurt to place here from the Rhodster SL63, as more comfortable and functional. But the luggage compartment "Schwaba" is worthily praise for both successful layout, and for the ease of transformation of the rear seats, which are faster than a competitor from a misty Albion.

Range Rover Although inferior to the "German" in the size of the cabin, boasts the original interior, where you will not find parts from cheaper models. Everything would be generally wonderful if the British modified the multimedia complex, which has a complex interface and not quickly responds to the commands. But these shortcomings are moving into the background, it is only worth including Meridian's regular audio system with stunning quality and sound volume. Rear passengers in Range Rovera are surrounded by great comfort than in the German SUV. This is manifested in the range of seats adjustable in the angle of inclination of the backs and the position of the lumbar backpage, as well as in the presence of a more informative remote control of the entertainment center.

Round the second

Being heavier "Rindj Rover" (2625 kg against 2514 kg), "Mercedes" nevertheless gave the opponent to the real battle, fully realized the superiority in the capacity and the thrust of its engine (550 hp / 560 nm against 510 hp / 461 nm). The confrontation of the test participants on the landfill was so tense, as if these were not full-sized SUVs, but record sports cars or, rather, boxers-heavyweights. Cars showed the same seconds of acceleration from 0-70 mph (112 km / h) - 5.9 s, 0-80 mph (128 km / h) - 7.4 s, 0-90 mph (144 km / h) - 9.2 s, 45-65 mph (72-104 km / h) - 2.3 s and put in one time of the passage of a quarter mile, developing the same speed (13.1 s / 108.3 Mil / h (174.3 km / h). The remaining measurements of overclocking dynamics remained for the "British", but the ruptures in the results of the test cars did not exceed 0.1 s. Mercedes was waved with the opponent in the next round when checking the performance of the brakes. Surprisingly, But the more massive GL63 AMG showed during a slowdown from the speed of 60 mph (96 km / h) noticeably shorter stopping path than the Range Rover - 104 feet (32 meters) against 118 feet (36 meters). For comparison, sports car Shevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible, which visited the test "Trend Motor" last year, spent on braking under similar conditions 101 foot (31 m).

On the track, an SUV with a three-beam star, despite the fact that it is withstanding a higher side overload (0.86 g against 0.79 g), it is hard to sneak at the sacrifice "British". "Range" Although demonstrates higher rolls, turns faster and keeps stronger at the road. In addition, the exhaust of the foggy albion is easier to dispense the braking force. Justice for, it should be noted that "Mercedes" also does not seem to respect and endowed with a fast steering wheel, but not so responsive to calls for actively driving as his opponent. Of the disadvantages of the test heavyweights, it is possible to note the shortage of feedback. Riding comfort from both SUVs thanks to the air suspension is very decent, at the same time, Range Rover is still higher. According to this indicator, "British" is approaching the best executive car.

Outcome

Both Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG and Range Rover are chic and very fast SUVs, each of which can be an excellent evidence of life success. Nevertheless, the winner in this uncompromising battle should be only one, and they are becoming a British car. Despite the individual drawbacks like ergonomics of the multimedia system, Range Rover won the top due to winning in handling and comfort. Also, "Ranja" is better developed off-road qualities, and it is cheaper.

A full-size premium brand SUV for many is a cherished consumer dream. And for many, this dream, alas, remains unsinkable. We believe that dreams should come true, and collected at one time and in one place five cars at once - one of the other is better. Or no better? Now will figure it out!

Text Vasily Ostrovsky, photo Artem Popovich

All cars are currently reported. The most "old" - Range Rover Sport: His sales began in the summer of 2013. BMW X5 appeared at the end of the same year, and Volvo XC90, Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz Gle came to Russia quite recently.

Frankly, a comparison of such cars has a greater extent academic interest, rather than practical meaning. Speaking about such a format, as an expensive SUV of noble origin, it is necessary to take into account not only the "physical" parameters of the car, but its "sincere" qualities. It is difficult to imagine that a person who has thoughtful to sit behind the "Mercedes" steering wheel, can prefer his star of a blue-white propeller machine with a different ideology. Yes, and Engoman is unlikely to boil on the Teutonic technique: in his view, Range can only be even more expensive "Ranj".

But "Audi" and "Volvo" are somewhat mansion. However, Q7 was previously the status thing, while XC90 was only now raised to the level of the rest of the vehicles, considerably in price compared to its predecessor. Well, the more interesting our observations will be.

Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI Quattro

Without a small ten years, there was between the premieres of the two generations Q7 - the term for current standards is almost consecutive. The new "ku" differs from the old straight: if the former car seemed rounded by a rounded miscurrent, then now "Audi" was sharpened in the edges and ... stopped looking like an SUV. But the big crossover is simply obliged to be impressive!

Impressions from the salon are also ambiguous. The first assessment is cool. Interestingly performed climate control handles, on which the temperature and mode of operation are displayed. Great made of black wooden inserts with matte texture and thin stripes.

Fully digital devices are impressive: the graphics are worked perfectly, and the highest functionality. However, the last feature is a stick about two ends: an excess of readings on the display significantly complicates perception. And it was still very surprised by the orientation of the dashboard: it is not addressed to the organ of vision of the driver, but as if tilted down. To this, you get used to it, but the question "why?" Nevertheless remains.

SUV? Rather, a big wagon. Very big! And also - solid, strict, comfortable. Driving this car experience a sense of confidence and invulnerability. Perfect finish, proper handling and powerful acceleration of gasoline V6. Purchase on the back sofa almost more than you need! And the front is all good: comfortable chairs, beautiful and, in principle, understandable interface. What can I find face here? That's just I would prefer a version with a diesel engine, even if the dynamics would even be damaged. Then for me Q7 would definitely be a good option.

When removing the machine on the front panel and the doors, bright white stripes flashed, which are replaced by red after a while. Speected! I didn't like this performance, but not all experts appreciated such beauty, finding her annoyingly intrusive.

However, when it comes to the convenience of managing the multimedia interface, there was no differences: the Germans made a waum. The looped buttons of the touchpad in combination with a round controller and the selection keys of various menu sections are blasting the brain. In addition, the volume adjustment knob is located away from useless touchpad and besides swinging. As a result, adjust the volume to the passenger turns out to be more information than the driver. Mount from the mind!

"Audi" like soft suspension: Machine some incomprehensible way even large irregularities, without shaking wheels and without swaying the body. Yes, and the trunk is large, moreover, its volume can be adjusted not only by folding the rear row, but simply moving the individual parts of it back and forth. However, with a cunning on-board system, I could not find a common language, no matter how hard it tried: the journey of the management bodies on the central tunnel plunged me into horror. This is some kind of ergonomic vakhanalia, by God! I didn't like the screen instead of the dashboard: to figure out numerous numbers is not easy, besides, it remains an intractable mystery to me, why it is set with a slope down.

Our copy turned out to be in a strange configuration: with pretty expensive options, such as the Bang & Olufsen audio system, the car was deprived of the memory of the front seats and climate control for the passengers of the sofa. The steering column was generally not electrified - as, however, and on "Volvo". Nevertheless, there are no complaints from the chairs - the adjustment ranges are more than sufficient. Rear seats are also adjustable: individual parts of the sofa can be moved longitudinally and tilt the back in very wide limits. By the stock of space and the convenience of entry / exit "Audi" outside competition.

The armrest is divided into two equal parts,

each of which is regulated by length. At the same time, the "warehouse" itself in its depths is extremely modest in terms of volume

Touchpad does not justify expectations:

the driver has a desire to take advantage of them as a means of navigating the menu, but it is suitable only for the "palpais" input, which you use quite rarely

Highly comfortable steering wheel

in places, grip is separated by gentle perforated skin. Separate joy - Special button to adjust the volume of the navigation system

Of the five cars, only Q7 was equipped with 333-strong gasoline engine And in terms of power inflounted exclusively "Ranju". With the dynamics, of course, the crossover is all in perfect order. And the smoothness of the "ku-seventh" has left the smallest impression. More comfortable suspension I do not remember! Small irregularities crossover destroys completely, and large reduces to frivolous sizes. You can pass on the "Legging Police", without reducing the speed at all. Healthy!

But the car handling alert. On the one hand, the "German" demonstrates a magnificent holder in turns - on the other, it does not seek reliable information in the hands of the driver regarding the angle of rotation of the wheels: the light steering wheel does not have sufficient informativeness, and in turn it has to fall almost at random.

As for the passability, the "Audi" in this discipline is not strong, even despite the presence of a pneumatic suspension with the possibility of changing the clearance: a long wheeled base and large swells are not the best kindergarten on off-road.

BMW X5 xDrive 40D

Even at the end of the last century, in Munich, they proved to the whole world that the SUV could have a sports car habits: appearing in 1999, X5 became the most driver crossover (before the appearance of Cayenne was still three years). Yes, and now "X-fifth" everything also provokes to ride "with a high-raised key." Another thing is that, compared with the predecessor E70, the current car of the F15 series has become much more comfortable: excellent smooth course - the main acquisition of X5.

Like "Mercedes", the Bavarian crossover professes the facilities to tradition: from the point of view of the "boomer" in the cabin, everything is located in their places. However, the key difference between Munich traditionalism from Stuttgarts is that from the point of view of a normal person in BMW with ergonomics there are no problems. With each new generation, the "X-fifth" is becoming increasingly rich electronics, but its high density per square meter of the car does not conflict with the convenience of use - except for navigation, which is categorically inconvenient to control the circular controller. Eh, here would be a normal human touchscreen ...

"Ha-Fifth" is a certain history and image. He is like a noble horse that dreams of breaking in a gallop. But what kind of boredom in the cabin? This is a crossover from the premium segment! Where is the deliberate luxury, which generously give up the nearest competitors? It seems to be all with it - "and the skin, and a face." And yet, as if something is not enough - some kind of deliberate gloss, or something ... but the trunk with a separate door is a comfortable thing. If you abstract from the specific image of the "boumen", then in the dry residue there will be a universal, but the devilish quick car, which is well-appropriate for the demands of the adult couple with a couple of young children, which will be cozy for not too spacious rear sofa.

Against the background of the competitors, the "X-fifth" salon may even seem slightly conservative: despite the fact that the multimedia interface is endowed with rather extensive powers, the main functions are still hanged on the usual buttons. Of inconveniences, it is worth noting non-fixed steering switches (determine in what mode wipers are working, only a person with well-developed intuition is capable of the same joystick.

Front armchairs at BMW masterpiece - without exaggeration. In addition to the millions of all sorts of familiar adjustments, the front seats also "break" in half the back: the angle of inclination of its top can be set separately. In general, the chair can be easily adjusted on any, even the most non-standard figure. Bravo!

BMW seemed to me too twitching: he accelerates jumps and slows down - the brake pedal was unnecessary. I did not like the fact that the thresholds are not protected from dirt - in this sense, Audi and Range Rover is preferable. But with the smoothness of the stroke there are no problems. And also surprised the lack of a pneumatic suspension with the adjustment of the clearance: it seems to me that in this class and for this money it should be mandatory equipment.

Bavarians have long supplied their dear cars projection displays, and X5 has not exceeded. According to the quality of information feed, it is flawless: a clear color image seems to boil over the road. HUD is also VOLVO, but the Swedes have a simpler successful.

Ambient lighting interior

allows you to select the color of the illumination at the discretion of the driver - the corresponding point in the onboard system menu is dedicated to this function.

Double armrest

opens access to the box on a central tunnel, in which a significant part of the volume has been pulled by the shelf under mobile phone. By the way, BMW supports the simultaneous connection of two phones

Most laconic dashboard

provides an unmantiated perception of major information. In addition, some data are displayed on the projection display.

X5 is not shy not shy to exhibit their sports skills

Despite the fact that the current "X-fifth" slightly cooled, changing the stiffness of the stroke for smoothness, it still does not hesitate to expose his sports skills - especially this applies to a modification with a 313-strong diesel engine, a creamy pair of dozen turbines. Motor - Chumova! And the box to him in the most suit: transfers replace each other quickly, but smoothly.

The steering wheel is clear, sharp - and at the same time not annoying excessively nervousness. Sports mode seemed by a piece of narrow use: Easy, unobtrusive impulvability leaves, leaving the naked bunch of nerves - for each pressing of the gas, the car is unnecessarily twitching forward, sometimes forcing to slow down. The brakes in X5, by the way, are also very sensitive - to this feature you have to get used to it.

From the point of view of passability, uniquely BMW is inferior to the leaders: despite the decent road lumen and well-working imitation of differential locks, X5 is deprived and downstream, and pneumatic suspension with changeable clearance.

Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 D 4Matic

Normally GLE is considered a new model, but in fact Mercedes became the most age participant of our test: in fact, this is a third generation ML, processed by restyling.

The interior during the modernization has changed not too much: instead of the display built into the front panel, it appeared with a new steering wheel, and a small wheel for walking on the onboard system menu gave way to a massive controller with a touchpad hanging over it.

Mercedes seems perfectly balanced machine

Inertia Schwabs Exploited with a multitude of the left-hander switch, to which you need to adapt a long time if your first "Mercedes". To the fact that the windshield wipers turn on to the left of the steering wheel, and not to the right, it is impossible to get used to it. But to the selector of the "automat", which sticks out from the steering column on the spot the lever for janitors, adapt instantly. When I moved to BMW after "Mercedes", then instead of moving from the place, I cleaned the windshield.

"Mercedes" for me - a brand special: I have a weakness from childhood to cars with a three-beam star. Salon at GLE Like a cozy office, from which I do not want to go out. Everything here is thorough, almost conservatively - and at the same time modern, respectable and aristocratic. There are no comments to the ride qualities - they are polished to the brilliance. Yes, and Mark speaks for himself: the word "Mercedes" does not need to explain to anyone. True, I do not like new system Designations - on the rumor to distinguish one SUV from another is now almost impossible.

The front seats of our GLE have been electrified at the maximum. The management of them is traditionally put on the door, however, in the bases there are buttons there are buttons - in particular, they regulate the lumbar sub-project. By the way, a curious feature: as the seats shift, they automatically raise head restraints - in my opinion, it is absolutely logical.

It's just surprising that other manufacturers still did not occur to do so. No less strange and the fact that Mercedesovs for some reason did not use the seat to facilitate the driver's landing: when the ignition is turned off, only the steering wheel is off.

By the stock of space on the couch, Mercedes is inferior to the "Audi" and "Volvo", but wins from BMW and Range. There is no inconvenience with the entrance and exit, although the probability of staining pants still exists - the doors do not protect the thresholds from dirt.

Of all five cars, Mercedes gives the impression of the most solid car. In it, everything is emphasized well: and noble appearance, and a comfortable interior, and a spacious trunk. True, with a multimedia, it seems to me, the Germans have twisted themselves: the touch panel on the central tunnel here is clearly superfluous. But the picture on the screen is good: and the image quality is extremely clear, and the font is quite large - no problems with the perception of information. And the operation of the circular survey system and at all above all silence! I liked the fact that for GLE, you can order a dispensing box with a downstream: with it to pull out the trailer with a boat - a pair of trifles. And yet, with other things being equal, I would prefer the larger GL - solely because of its size.

From the point of view of cargo transportation, the GLE salon designed successfully. And although the pillows and the back of the rear row have to be added separately, lowering head restraints to the lower position, but this operation leads to the formation of an absolutely flat floor.

The easiest control of the audio system

due to the fact that the driver has the ability to choose the way to interact with it - through the menu of the multimedia interface, keys on the steering wheel or buttons on the central console

Cool circular overview with a clear picture,

which forms the quartet cameras, is a great working tool: ride reverse, focusing solely on the display, on Mercedes is easier than

Light leather of the salon was too brand:

at all more new car With a mileage of less than a thousand kilometers, she already acquired a distinct blue tint.

The steering column will sharpen in the set of levers -

three left and one right. However, if you get used to the selector "automat" quite quickly, then a cornal multifunctional lever with turn signals and windshields is not so easy to learn

Three-liter diesel, which is revived by GLE 350 D, carefully inscribed in the "tax" 249 forces (in Europe, the same engine produces 258 hp) and is equipped with a 9-speed "automatic". Works such a tandem great: a set of speed occurs quickly, but in Mercedesian smoothly. Noise isolation worked in the most thorough way, the suspension is wrapped in excellent - smoothness is good even in sports mode. Mercedes generally left the impression of an ideally balanced car.

Yes, he is almost sterile in sensations - there is no single comment to his behavior! At the same time, the crossover from the Stuttgart is boring a boring language does not turn - GLE seems like a very alive and moving organism. His character is deliberately smooth, but it is precisely in this that the charm of this car lies: it is felt that a grand engineering work is worth such restrained behavior.

As for the off-road qualities of Mercedes, then on the road, he will only give way to "Ranju", and even then only the smallest: in the arsenal GLE 350 D, supplemented with Offroad package with pneumatic suspension, There is a lower transmission, forced blocking of the central differential and adjustable road clearance, the maximum value of which reaches 285 mm.

Range Rover Sport SDV8

Generation was made from Discovery, then his heir was built on a common platform with a large Range. During the reincarnation of RRS, it became easier for four hundred kg and got new engines - in particular, a 4.4 liter turbodiesel, which was just standing under the hood of our car. So mighty "Dviglo" and the tank will be dragged by playing - not the fact that the SUV! In response to the press of the SPORT accelerator pedal, slightly squeezing on the rear axle, goes into the offensive to the space under the uterine hum of diesel "eight". And although BMW and Audi will give up the Range Draga, and Audi, the impressions of overclocking are still very strong: you immediately feel in great and heavy, but at the same time an incredibly rapid machine that generates a sense of total superiority over other road users.

This illusion feeds a high landing - you look at the neighbors in the thread. It provides good visibility, but complicates access to the car: you can not sit down in Ranj and do not even enter, but rising. Low people jump into the salon will be more difficult than the growth of the growth above average. And the planting process on the front passenger seat of the girl in a narrow skirt and turns into a strip show at all!

Former "Sport" I did not really like it - with all Paphos, he seemed rustic. Here is the new "Ranj" - another thing! He is beautiful and Elegance, although it looks impressive and terrible. On the organization of the internal space "Briton" something similar to BMW - for example, in the back row, I lack the place with my growth, and it's inconvenient to sit there - interferes with a beveled body rack. In terms of handling, it is inferior to the Bavarian crossover - but it is clearly capable of off-road feats, for which I personally can ever fit.

Disadvantages When landing, the British SUV compensates for a full-fledged system of comfortable access and thresholds that always remain clean - they are completely closed with doors with seals.

Rear passengers "Range" is also not easy: in addition to the high location above the ground, the input-output complicates the protruding wheel arch and a strongly inclined body rack. Yes, and places on the legs are less than in other machines, although more than in BMW. And here is the largest armrest, in which it also lies the remote control of the entertainment system - each passenger is put on the monitor and a set of headphones.

The English car liked more than the rest. If you do not pay attention to some inconvenience like difficulties with the inclusion of seats heating, then "Range" bribes the convenience of landing. The steering wheel and armchair departure, facilitating the exit, and the thresholds are protected from dirt by the doors. And what is the motor here! He not only causes a large car to gain a step, but it is distinguished by an exorbitantly low fuel consumption. I'm confused only possible problems With reliability.

The front row lives easier. Nevertheless, here is its specificity. For example, heating and ventilation seats can be activated only with the help display of the multimedia system, although in the desired menu item you get immediately by pressing a special button on the central console. By the way, only in the "Range" you can warmly warm or cool the back either the seat cushion, pressing the desired zone on the display with your finger on the chairs.

Unfortunately, RRS was published, without waiting for a new multimedia system, which debuted on Jaguar XE: the old one is distinguished by primitive graphics, obviously not corresponding to the status of the machine. I did not like and work with USB drives: the system does not recognize all flash drives and refuses to reproduce individual tracks for unknown reasons.

In general, the interior of the "British" produces an exceptionally pleasant impression - the skin of the first-class release is adjacent to polished aluminum and pleasant to the touch plastic.

Display with a forked image

it is considered a corporate chip of British cars: the driver and front passenger will simultaneously see different pictures

Non-fixed gearbox selector

it is understood in use, however, a brilliant washer. which manages the machine on other "Rangers", looks more stylish, but for easy use even preferable the joystick

Displays with outdated graphics -

here the main problem Multimedia devices "Ranj Rover". However, you can refuse the usual analog instruments from the virtual dashboard.

Comfortable access system

on the British car significantly facilitates the process of placement behind the wheel: the steering wheel rises upstairs and presses to the front panel, and the chair shifts back

The trunk of this "Range" is apparently because he is "sport" - not perfect. First, a significant loading height complicates the placement of heavy boosted. Secondly, if you fold the rear sofa, then the smooth floor will not get. Thirdly, extract from the floor with a lot of full-size spare vessels can except a person with good physical training.

Despite the powerful motor, Sport does not have to go for racing tracks, although it is capable of going fast: the cruising speed is far behind the "hundred" for him - in the order of things. The smoothness of the course of good, however, when driving, more or less large irregularities comes to an understanding of whether the wheel's SUV: oscillations of unsophisticated masses feel better than I would like.

But on the passability of "Ranju" there is no equal! The suspension is characterized by impressive articulation, besides, pneumatic bullies allow you to raise the body over the ground up to a record 335 mm. Also in the list of off-road virtues at the "British" there is a razdatka with a praying, as well as the forced blocking of the central and rear differentials.

Volvo XC90 D5 AWD Inscription

Like Audi Q7, flagship crossover Volvo. I concluded at the start: the first generation XC90 gave way to his successor only on the twelfth year of life. However, the expectation of the new car was worth it - "the ninetieth" successful for glory!

And gasoline, and diesel engines that are equipped with XC90, have the same configuration: two liters, four cylinders plus reducing varying degrees of arrogance.

It looks like "Volvo" by Scandinavian careless, but at the same time modern and absolutely recognizable. Solid symbolism: the sign of Mars on the radiator grille, and the headlights are decorated with a hammer of the thorah - the T-shape of the LED running lights should be interpreted this way. It is a pity that the Swedes for some reason did not cover the thresholds by the doors: when landing is easy to stain his pants.

The appearance of the Swedish car seems to me boring. But inside the second generation crossover surprised not only highly artistic design of the interior, but also its convenience: everything is for a person here. Yes, and the "tablet" on the central console here is quite appropriate, especially since it is managed by touch, and not diligent twist and drill. And what is the chic sound of the audio system! It is a pity that "Volvo" went up so much: if the new XC90 cost as much as old, he would definitely become a hit!

Once inside the Volvo, you immediately relax, having honed the very "atmosphere of well-being", which so carefully impregnated the salon designers. The inner world of hs90 is made with a great taste and graduated from the grace. What is only worth the inner decoration of the door: a sculptural surface, a combination of textures, colors, smooth lines of docking materials make it a piece of art. Separate items that are presented as branded chips do not look far-finished: fried "jewelry" to start the engine and the selection of motion modes is not just functional, but also easy to use. In any case, the quality of the finishing of XC90 is not inferior to German and British cars. The only fear causes a lacquer black plastic, from which the buttons on the knucky knitting and door panel, Framing of climate control and display deflectors on the central console. It all looks fashionable, but in fact it turns out to be marked.

By the way, about the display: a vertically-oriented touch tablet with the Sensus interface, over the filling of which Corpels Mitsubishi Electric specialists are characterized by good graphics and sufficient speed. It turned out to be easier to understand the menu than it seemed that the proportion of lack of logic does not suffer. But virtual devices were not impressed - after communicating with Audi, it does not leave the feeling that the Swedes mastered only a small part of the potential of such a dashboard.

The creators of Ranj-Rover Evok prefer to compare it with Audi-Q3. Formally, in size, "Briton" is really closer to this model. But at the price of basic complete sets, it is an explicit competitor Q5. So, no one will confuse "Ranj", "Audi" and "Mercedes" neither outside or inside. And yet they have a lot in common. But first about the differences.

The appearance of "Evoka" is a matter of taste. But it is difficult to disagree that it looks extraordinary. By the way, while I waited for the car in the salon dealer, I noticed how many people were interested in Babi-Rangem. Pijon sat down - a representative of golden youth, near Twitched two young ladies, who arrived at a much more cumbersome sortier, then the car occupied the car, and the married couple in the years - on the driver's seat set up a spouse ...

Closed in front of "Ranj Rove" will be quite high. They will not be able to move away enough to move away from the pedals and the steering wheel. Middle growth drivers are quite convenient. Salon is definitely the brightest and elegant. What is great, not to the detriment of ergonomics. If you are already familiar with the Yaguarovo-Rover Kreagovy Control Transmission, we will seek "Evok" per minute. If not, just longer. But the device in general is not more complicated by the usual selectors.

Neither "Mercedes-Benz GLK" nor "Audi-Q5" on the quality of finishing is not worse than "Evoka". Maybe, even better, but this is a feeling on the tips of the fingers of gourmets, capable of catching the nuances of the invoice. The "Germans" the same design is subordinate to a completely different philosophy. Salon "Audi" with verified lines and well-plated elements of strict, but boring. And "Mercedes" after the two previous cars will reproach even in some simplicity. However, such a style is distinguished by a good suit: neatly, fashionable, according to the figure - and without unnecessary shine.

The most dense and convenient landing is in "Audi": a compromise between comfort in the far road and support for the driver of any volume in fast turns. Chairs "Ranj-Rover" and "Mercedes" are flatter. At the first to the same, it will be narrowed for a highly dense complex. This is, of course, the nuances, but essential for those who sometimes travel under 1000 km.

Despite the original ergonomics as a whole, each car has its little tricks. In "Mercedes" - the notorious left-handed switcher, with which the seat does not move, and the cruise control lever hinders. To write about it, of course, tired, but to pull in search of the desired function - too.

Audi engineers for some reason decided to include the heated seats better in two stages: the button only calls a picture on the display, and the degree of heating is chosen, twisting the wheel. It turns off this economy, of course, in the reverse order. Against this background, the inclusion of glasses in "Evoka" with the buttons in the ends of the steering wheel switches - the solution is quite adequate.

Range clearly loses the "Germans" in the spacious and convenience of landing on the back seat. The first look at the flat roof does not deceive: the ceiling is lower here than in Audi and Mercedes. But the main thing is not in it, but in the front armchairs, in which you drown in your knees, and in a narrow doorway. The most spacious in this Trinity is "Audi", which does not intend, looking at its not a massive silhouette.

Well, what's the point "Uni"? Just in many ways the car is still similar - unisex wagons unified by modern requirements and fashion. Partly similar and their running quality, but - only in part ...

Until the asphalt ended

Diesel in 190 forces confidently accelerates "Evok". Only pressing the pedal to the floor, you begin to find fault: the box could switch a little faster. In more relaxed modes, the six-speed automatic machine works sporing and gently, quickly choking a desire to wish the petals at the wheel.

"Mercedes-Benz GLK 220 CDI" with 170 forces if I lost to the "Euchok" (we did not conduct instrumental measurements because of the weather), then quite slightly. Perhaps his acceleration seems less rapid, but only because it is very planned. "Audi" with its gasoline 211-strong motor in this discipline is out of competition. But in everyday life, as you know, much more important and convenience of management.

"Mercedes" is sharpened primarily on comfort. The car swallows any irregularities, over the road sails softly and gently. On the control bulb, I even wanted to go faster, since nothing but the muffled spanking tires on the stones does not cause inconvenience.

But the high-speed taxi is not for this sacrifice. At the turns of the steering wheel, the car reacts with the fullness of the fusion, which knows the price of the Burger. Sharpness and swiftness is not in its spirit. In rapid or slippery turns, there is more rear-wheelful character, shifting from the trajectory - to a greater degree of the back axis. The stabilization system is triggered on time, but slightly rescued.

Ranj Rover was a little more likely "Mercedes". And by comfort on the highway was very close to him. True, with a significant refinement: at high speeds it seemed to me that he left one of the windows ajar. Aerodynamic whistle may occur from huge external mirrors. And maybe it is born on bold fades of the front of the body, which, by the way, is very annoyed by the washers.

But "Evok" carefully passes road waves, copes well with potholes. But on a cobblestone, where the suspension has to work faster, the car suddenly becomes shaking, annoying with vibrations and noise. High-speed turns are also not the most strong side Ranja, mainly due to rolls. They are not particularly great, but against the background of German rivals are noticeable. In addition, an attempt to ride with the disabled stabilization system literally brought onboard electronics from itself. She refused to include ESP again, change the transmission regimes also no longer wanted. We enabled her brains with the removal of the terminal from the battery, but the desire to test manageability at the limit was gone.

"Audi" on the highway perfectly copes with small irregularities, without shaking shaking. Surprise persistently tolerate cobblestone. Only on the waves, especially if they are somewhat in a row, turns into a tight tennis ball. Especially getting rear passengers. But what is noise insulation! Even on evil studded tires the car is coming Very quiet.

According to the control of "Audi", the leader is also. Here he is full of full drive! The machine is tight in turns, and if necessary, it allows you to finely dose slide. The stabilization system is triggered late, allowing the sophisticated driver to have an imagination. And if he dares to turn it off, the sough will reveal additional opportunities, but to a reasonable limit: in the critical situation, the electronics will work again. Comfort on the highway and the ability to deliver the driver's pleasure - "Audi" managed to achieve a great combination.

CAREER GROWTH

Of course, in sandy careers, they are not generals. But I wanted to see what they were able to, and try after all the same to assign the title to them. Boldly, we traveled to the "Ranj Rover" on the hills and messenger sand. It has better geometric patency (lumen already 245 mm). It helps and the ability to change the transmission regimes, and the responsiveness of the gas pedal during the transition from the standard program to the "snow" or "sand" mode. It is not bad that Ranja (as well as the "Audi") has an assistant descent from the mountain.

The main disadvantage of "Audi" is non-religious (by the standards of ossevdnikov) ground clearance. Yes, and the front bumper to hurt the hilly lem. The possibilities of transmission (with good tires) are also high enough. As, however, "Mercedes". He, by the way, the road clearance in front and in the base is slightly larger than that of the "Audi", and the length of the front swell exceeds the same indicator of "Euch". In a word, in this discipline we recognized cars almost equal, assigning the title of lieutenants. "Ranju" may have given the older ...

Three on four

Close in class and characteristics cars are noticeably different from each other with a complete drive device. Range received the Haldex clutch, as on the "Land Rover Freilender", on the modernized platform of which "EVOC" and built. Multidisk Coupling C. electronically control Passing the moment on rear wheels When slipping the front. If necessary, electronics, receiving information from the sensors of the anti-lock system and the dynamic stabilization system (ESP), slows down this or that wheel, simulating the blocking of inter-wheeled differentials.

All-wheel drive transmission "Mercedes-Benz Firmatik" using a multi-disc clutch controlled electronics distributes the moment between the axes in the ratio of 45:55. The blocking of the same interstole differentials, as well as competitors, imitate the stabilization system and anti-lock.

On the audio-q5, the familiar Kvattro drive with the differential of increased friction "Torsen"; 40% torque is fed to the front axle, 60% - to the back. When slipping, the moment on the front axle can be brought to 65%, and on the back - up to 85%.

After elections

Several simplifying: in "Mercedes" will most likely provide a weathered, calm person who knows the price for itself and the surrounding things that value the thoroughness and comfort. In Audi, we see the owner who knows and in business, and in fun. Comfortable, a spacious car for him must be not only a means of movement, but also a source of driver's joy.

"Ranj Rover Evok" is a repell of people emotional and no less versatile. These pay special attention to the nuances, sometimes little noticeable to others. But they are not alien to other entertainment - let's say, travels for not the best roads. Do you think these cars will choose differently? In my own way, you are also right ...

Sergey Kanunnikov:

"Ranj Rover Evok" is a completely decent competitor to recognized class leaders. Fresh design solutions are successfully combined with good driving qualities. Something, however, will have to donate. Not without it…"

The new Range Rover stands out so much among the other SUVs that a competitor has, in essence, only one - Mercedes-Benz GL. At the first opportunity, we arranged a full-time rival

Our "experimental" Range Rover has a 5-liter compressor engine V8 with a capacity of 510 hp. This modification is estimated in the amount of 5,305,000 rubles for the basic configuration. In addition to this version, options with a 4,4-liter turbodiesel V8 with a capacity of 339 hp are available. For 4,765,000 rubles and with a 3-liter turbodiesel V6, developing 248 hp, worth 3,996,000 rubles in the basic configuration.

Having visited the GL 500 test with a 4.7-liter burbed V8 with a capacity of 435 hp It is in the "special series" 5,200,000 rubles. Buyers are offered by GL 350 CDI with a 3-liter 258-strong Turbodiesel V6 for 3,470,000 rubles and "charged" version GL 63 AMG, equipped with a 5.5-liter V8 with a double turbocharger with a capacity of 557 hp. The minimum price of this car is 6,800,000 rubles.

The new Range Rover, however, like Mercedes-Benz, appeared on our market quite recently. From the predecessor model, the British SUV is characterized primarily by a strongly lightweight body made of aluminum, and an alluluminous framework. Depending on the modification, the car "lost" by 350-420 (!) Kg. Accordingly, the dynamics improved significantly and increased efficiency.

SUV received active stabilizers transverse stability, New 8-band "automatic" and power steering. The depth of the overcome fusion increased from 700 to 900 mm, and the move of its suspension 597 mm is a record among competitors. The Terrain Response system of the second generation has learned to independently adapt to the types of coating and motion modes. That is, the road clearance increases automatically, and when hit, for example, in the sand, the system itself changes the sharpness of the accelerator pedal and the algorithm of the "automatic".

But Mercedes-Benz GL, on the contrary, impaired off-road abilities in the new generation, as the most part remained unclaimed. In addition to the asphalt version, there is an ON & OFF-ROAD version, which has a lower transmission and locking "Center", but the rear differential lock no longer - its operation is performed by electronics. However, even in this case of off-road abilities, the owner must be enough with interest.

Unlike Range Rover, using absolutely new platform, Mercedes-Benz GL is built on the predecessor model platform, but he also "lost" (about 90 kg) due to the aluminum levers of the front suspension and the supporting crossbar of the front panel from the magnesium alloy.

In addition, as the opponent, the new GL acquired active transverse stability stabilizers. Both machines in the basic configuration are equipped with a pneumatic suspension. In short, the battle is planned very serious.

With all conviniences

To get inside the Range Rover, you need to go to a high threshold and snew a little head - due to very high floor the roof is relatively low. In the cabin, in comparison with the model of the previous generation, there was much fewer buttons and keys, and its design pleases with smooth clean lines. Everywhere, skin and wood - from plastics mostly only accessories. Feel yourself in Lord in the castle.

And, of course, the royal landing behind the wheel of the Range Rover is sitting high, you look far away. Moreover, the visibility is gorgeous not only due to the high location above the floor, but also due to thin body racks and huge mirrors. Gorgeous, pretty soft chair has excellent profile and comfortable head restraints.

After Range Rover in Mercedes-Benz GL literally falling down - almost like in a car. But the doorway in the vertical direction is noticeably more and the head does not need to bend. The main thing is to safely meet the footboard: it is so slippery that you can not get inside. In the cabin, again, in contrast with Range Rover, you feel like a tank. Landing behind the wheel is low, almost easy, the front panel and the windowsills are high, and the top border of the windshield visits hangs his forehead. The situation exacerbates fat front racks and small lateral mirrors - the visibility is unimportant.

And when you look at the central mirror, you see in it a deep cave with a small rear window in the distance. In fact, the window is not small, just the body is very long. Driving seat It has a denser packing than the opponent and the perfect profile. In addition, through the interface menu, you can adjust the length of the pillow, and the girth of the hips, and a lot more, including four types of massage. As in Range Rover, there is everywhere leather and wood. The skin is more rough compared to the English SUV, and the quality of the assembly of the interior panels is noticeably higher. More attention is paid to small details - all sorts of lever buttons look more expensive than in Range Rover. But here is the feeling of the aristocratic gloss, which is present in the English SUV, the German car does not give.

As for ergonomics, as well as management of various secondary functions, in this part of Mercedes-Benz unconditional leadership. With a convenient joystick on the central tunnel, the menu items displayed on the main screen with excellent graphics are intuitively selected. Graphics and convenience (or rather, the inconvenience) using the touch screen in the Range Rover has practically not changed compared to the model of the preceding generation, that is, still leave much to be desired.

On the second row of the chairs, our rivals provide enough space, but no more. Honestly, with such external dimensions Waiting more space for legs. Knees in the backrest of the front chairs, of course, do not rest, but you can't put on the leg. The shape of the seats at Mercedes-Benz is good, but the backs are too short, which may not like tall passengers. Both opponents have tilt adjustments, while Range Rover seats have an even more successful profile.

And if you order an autobiography version for the British SUV, like our test copy, then two separate chairs with a "breaking" back and many other adjustments will appear behind the back and the ability to move the right front sediment. In addition, Range Rover offers for the second-row passengers a separate climate control, while Mercedes-Benz in the back is only one-one. But the GL boasts the third nearby seats, which the English "gentleman" cannot be in principle. This third row can be folded and decomposed using an electric drive, only children can be accommodated there with amenities.

Royal manners

Learning on the Range Rover from the parking lot, you do not drive a car, but rule, slowly turning the huge "steering wheel", as if withdrawing a yacht from Marina to Ocean Square. You are sitting in a soft chair, having observing all sorts of cars, and move in space with feeling, with a sense, with the arrangement. The feeling of the foundation of the chart of the car enhances the accelerator's strongly accumulated pedal. You give it to her, you give ... And in response, only slow acceleration.

But when the pedal is already selling enough deep enough, the SUV suddenly is uncomfortable and all its five hundred horsepower throws you to the horizon - the main thing is that no one has tolerated before you. According to passport data, Mercedes-Benz GL accelerates no slower, but for the sensations of Range Rover imprinted in the back of the seat is stronger. True, such step settings of the accelerator in the urban isply are frankly uncomfortable, and often insecure. I remember that the version previously tested by us with a 4,4-liter turbodiesel was distinguished by more harmonious behavior, and the predecessor model with exactly the same 510-strong V8 compressor engine no problems with the accelerator pedal did not occur. But the 8-band "automatic" works fine - smoothly and distorted. I liked the brakes unconditionally - more than 2-ton mass of the SUV simply do not notice.

Mercedes-Benz GL also dictates a relaxed, relaxed driving manner, although due to the mediocre visibility feelings of total control over the situation no longer. Reactions to "gas" are recapined, but not as much as Range Rover. The accelerator pedal is configured more linear, but from a small turbopause low revolutions It does not save. Mercedes-Benz is accelerated smoothly, powerfully and inevitably, although against the background of the British SUV feeling a little flexible. In general, manage the acceleration of the "German" more convenient, even despite the work of its "automaton" - smooth, but somewhat slow. Brakes work perfectly.

The steering wheel in Mercedes-Benz makes a little less than three revolutions from the stop until the stop is stopped, and Range Rover is slightly larger. At low speeds "Baranka" of the German SUV lighter, and with an increase in the tempo, on the contrary, it becomes heavier than that of the opponent. Both vehicles are equipped with electric power plants, which on a dry road imperceptibly imitate feedback. At the turns of the steering wheel, Mercedes-Benz reacts a little faster and collected, but in general the difference between competitors is small.

It is remembered, the main claim to the Mercedes-Benz GL of the first generation was to shudder the body on sharp irregularities due to the large unsupported masses - on a broken road the car frankly shake. A new model engineers tried to get rid of this lack. I'm going through the Moscow asphalt with small potholes and cracks and amazing the calm of the SUV - most irregularities he simply does not notice. And here is a broken road. No, I finally got this problem still failed - on large potholes the body still shakes. True, much less than before, - the blow turns out the mesmer. Fairness It is worth saying that this drawback is practically "incurable" for large heavy cars with high Center Severity, and the new Mercedes-Benz copes with him hardly better than everyone in its class.

I replant in Range Rover, I leave for the same smashed road and I understand that I hardly come for the German SUV. When "An Englishman" falls into a large pothole, his body shakes a blow much stronger. On the smooth road, our rivals in terms of smoothness are very similar, only Range Rover is stronger stronger and, as it should be lulls, as if in the cradle. But overall the smooth leadercy for Mercedes-Benz. And in terms of noise insulation too. If in a British car, though not much, but tires are heard, the German competitor surprises with almost silent moving in space - we have not met such quiet cars for a long time.

The Merce-Des-Benz country highway behaves unshakable, and regardless of the speed and presence of colley. Range Rover is also riding stable, but in the kolas slightly digs and more sensitive to the impulse winds. In addition, the driver of "German" feels on the highway calmer due to a clearer stabilizing effort on the steering wheel in the okolonul zone. On a winding road, both of our wards demonstrate non-Runny for their dimensions to acne. They accurately obey the steering wheel and are almost not harvested due to active transverse stability stabilizers. At the same time, the Range Rover is a little more accurate in the turn, while Mercedes-Benz slightly rests on.

Most of the owners of these cars will never be eaten from asphalt, and if they eat, the owner of the Range Rover will be much further followed by the tractor - in terms of off-road feats "German" is not a competitor. As for asphalt disciplines, Mercedes-Benz GL seems preferable - it wins on the driving comfort, and currency stability. That is, if you rely on the mind, the winner in our comparison is a German SUV. True, when you deal with Range Rover, the mind often refuses to charm.

Lexus is a luxury, but ... Tree and militant plastic in the Japanese car will be enough for the suite of the suite, however, the scratching keys and togglers together with an abundance of silver plastics in the most prominent place are inappropriate reminded that the owner of the hotel did not produce a calculator from the hands. The range of driver's seat adjustments are the most modest, and the steering wheel in the extreme upper position is strongly falling forward. Even the doors - both without closers, although Mercedes and Range Rover have them in the "base".

Mercedes - Here is a sample of rigor and goodness! Especially our, who, for surcharge, almost everything is prolonged into the skin in the skin, with the exception of lacquered inserts. The soft orange-yellow light of the contour illumination gives the German interior an additional charm. Everything is familiar, everything is at hand - and there is not the slightest desire to get out of the multi-constructural chair. First, because I spent a lot of time on its individual fit through the Comand multimedia menu. And secondly, because the entertainment complex captivates the luxurious graphics and the friendliness of the interface, which you will not say about the similar systems of the Japanese and British.

Range Rover takes the soul to another. There is no former pompousness in it, but as the surfaces of the surface, like lines are elegant! And as the racks, this British spirit, exuded literally every detail.

Lexus has a similar volume for boosted - and similar problems due to a campaign. But the interior options are different: LX570 can be like a five-seater (we have such a thing), and to appear in the eight-month-in-law Ipostasi, and for a modest surcharge of 54 thousand rubles. But in any of the options on the second row of Lexus space in the knees on three or four centimeters more than in Range Rove or Mercedes. Although sitting from behind in the "Japanese" less convenient - the pillow is low.

The control weighing at the landfill showed that it was not for nothing in vain the British spent on a fully aluminum body: Range Rover by 42 kg is easier than Mercedes and already at 251 kg - Lexus! It is not surprising that, having the most powerful engine, "Englishman" easily furnits competitors in traffic lights. But in a dense stream, despite the dispute and smooth switching of the "machine", Range Rover makes nervous. The responses to stroking the pedal of gas are so lazy, and jumping with a slightly more resolute movement with the right foot so cutting that from the Moscow style of driving "Bumper to Bumper" refuse instantly, in order not to accidentally "lift" the leader. In Sport mode, it is not possible to get rid of the power of the gas pedal, although the box honestly goes to one or two steps down. Little to the side of the face and from the "manual" mode.

With Mercedes calmer. Perhaps the case in the traditionally tight gas pedal, perhaps in the labby-stretched respirations of the Biturbomotor ... In general, you quickly remember that "he has time to hurry anywhere."

And immediately forget, by moving in Lexus! Despite the most modest power of the undead motor (367 hp versus 435 hp from the "German" and 510 hp from the "English"), this one is in battle. Almost three-tont Mahina with the hunt follows the pedal, and the six-speed "automatic" changes the transfer of deft and on time. Although with a "low start" to keep up with Mercedes, and even more so for the Range Rover Lexus, of course, unable.
